Spigot search virus - need help

I don't know how or what I did to get this, but I've just picked up the Spigot program/redirect. Chrome is the only browser that I use. When I tried to uninstall it using the control panel, it asks me to allow Spigot to make changes to my system, which I declined. Here's my last MBAM log.

Note: If after running ComboFix you get this error message "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion." when attempting to run a program all you need to do is restart the computer to reset the registry.===

Third party programs if not up to date can be the cause of infiltration an infection.

Security Check gave me an unsupported system error and wouldn't run. I've switched the search provider settings back to Google and everything seems to be normal again, but I'll monitor it over the next 24 hours.

If yes, make sure that users follow the steps we recommended and get the security update directly from the official oracle website." at:http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
